Episode notes
Why The Recipe Account Started
- Protein-Deficient Vegan grew her recipes because she couldn't find many high-protein vegan dishes.
- That led to a separate recipe account and strong Google search presence for 'protein deficient vegan.'
Vegan Diets Support Muscle Growth
- Vegans can build muscle just as well as non-vegans when protein intake is matched.
- Studies and elite vegan athletes demonstrate equivalent muscle growth when diets are controlled.

- Hit your protein target; prioritize soy and blends if concerned about quality.
- Ensure vegan and non-vegan comparisons use equal protein intake to be meaningful.
